Please add the ability to log the IP address of users that upload a torrent within the webgui. I've had situations where this feature would have been extremely helpful so I can identify who submitted/uploaded a malicious torrent on my seed box.

qBittorrent WebUI has many things to improve. 😄 As you can see we have more than 900 open issues and few developers, will be added but I don't know when.

Change the title to: "Wishlist: WebUI Log IP addresses of users who upload torrent". Put the words "Wishlist: WebUI" in your other issue also.

In the meantime, is there any logging currently going on for the webui? If it even had a apache like logfile I could grep for the POST action of the "download from urls" "download" button that would be helpful. I have some user uploading "undesirable" torrents and I'd like to figure out who it is.

I merged with that code and got the web requests for those logs to work, unfortunately they don't show the IP address.

6/30/15 12:08 PM - 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih=torrent' added to download list.

This is very very close to what I need, if it only had the uploading IP address it would be perfect.

If it even had a apache like logfile

Run Apache with the webui in an iFrame.
or
use Apache to get the IP, then redirect to the webUI port.
